I found the agitators! They are 2 unicorns, giraffe, canary, panda, mouse, dinosaur, mouse, Stitch, and the frog! And they are right outside of Portland's ICE facility! 🤣🤣🤣

"Turn around or you're going to get the dog."

I'm sorry, what?? is "dog" code for something, like a taser? Surely untrained ICE imbeciles aren't roaming the streets with a police dog, are they?? Jesus.

In the late 1800s, an English land agent was sent to a town to foreclose on farmers. The locals refused to serve him, to deliver his mail, to sell to him in shops, to have anything at all to do with him.

His name was Charles Boycott.

imagine working to save up money, so that you and your young family can buy a sweet little property to grow food and raise chickens. You think, yeh it's Idaho, but we can afford 3 acres there, and the countryside and the birds...

And then a Qatari airforce base moves there and all you hear is jets.

prescription drug commercials uphold ableism. MANY of them contain a line about how, “i won’t let my diagnosis stop me,” which is simply not how complex diagnoses or medications work (especially bc the 2nd half of the ad is just horrific side effects)

Every governor must charge ICE agents with state crimes.

Governors and mayors must stop protecting ICE agents who are violating state crimes.

"A single governor could change that calculation overnight. Announce that state prosecutors will charge federal agents who violate state criminal law. ... Let federal agents explain to a judge why kicking down doors without judicial warrants isn’t burglary."

I feel detached, like I'm just observing this.
Genuine question: WHY would they do this? There must be some personal gain. Do the Qatari's have the Epstein files? Seriously, why?

I like this whole thing of lower-sugar soda. they have lots of brands now, so it's not $2.50/can anymore.
tasty and refreshing. The orange soda is nostalgic, reminds me of the public pool growing up. I can hear the splashing and can almost smell the chlorine and Hawaiian Tropic SPF 2 suntan oil.

I keep adding more decades, to the question I'm constantly asking myself: how long will it take to recover from this bullshit? many, many decades, we're into generations now.

dear lovelies who get angry when learning your parents bought the house for 38K: guys. Don't be mad at your parents. things was cheaper back then. deodorant was $1 and cokes were a quarter. 38K was a lot of money in the olden times.
that's why your parents won't spend $12.50 on a movie ticket now.
